What an excuse for merchandising!!!

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2006)

It can't always be about art. Sometimes people just have to make some money. I can definitely understand that. WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND is how two of Hollywoods better actors (though I personally don't think much of Ewan McGregor... just can't get the hype) can even consider the possibility of participating in such an awful, huge commercial. Because that's what it is: IT'S A VERY LONG ADVERTISEMENT! Huge crashes, a lot of merchandising and NO PLOT AT ALL!!! I do have to acknowledge the brilliant work of the people that marketed the film. They put all of the better scenes in the trailer. Those are the real pros! The sound editing was fantastic, too, by the way.
